I was at a dinner party with a group of people, and we were talking about fake names. You know, how its difficult to come up with a really great fake name. Its a very specific type of gift. You don't want to go too far into the silly, and you don't want to go too far into the banal. I always thought one of the funniest names ever was Gern Blanston, which came from a Steve Martin routine on one of his early records.

Nothing is ever cut-and-dried. There's anguish behind everything.

I can, and do, walk the street. No one bothers me or anything, because most people wouldn't know who I am.

I don't really think in terms of genre, I think in terms of story and character.

Marriage is like a tense, unfunny version of Everybody Loves Raymond, only it doesn't last 22 minutes. It lasts forever.

I'm sure that my wanting to be an actor had to do with a need for approval.

We all have different sides of our personalities, so I'd love to play some more different parts too.
